Keeping your children’s teeth and gums healthy is important for healthy development. Taking care of your kid’s oral health even before their teeth grow is necessary for the teeth to grow-in healthy. The Government of Saskatchewan website gives you tips on how to take care of your children’s oral hygiene to support healthy development. Children’s dental health is vital since the ability to chew, speak, and generally be healthy depends on having healthy teeth and gums. Oral hygiene also supports their capacity to eat, learn, and interact with others. As parents it can be a struggle to get the kids to brush their teeth, which can relate to sensory sensitivities, not being motivated to brush their teeth, or even the perceived discomfort of the process. Creative experiences make oral hygiene fun, check out the website for more tips on supporting children’s oral hygiene.
